Re: [ql-users] QDT icons

2004-12-24 Thread James Hunkins 
Another quick note for images that anyone would like to use for an icon 
in QDT.  They need to have what I call hard edges.  If you have an edge 
that goes from black to white in steps, for example, since I have not 
incorporated Marcel's alpha yet (coming later), if you put this kind of 
image onto a dark background it looks like it has a messy white/off 
white type halo - not a good thing.

If you want your image to have this kind of soft edge, then I can give 
it a solid color background.   Be sure to let me know if that is your 
preference versus transparency.

Cheers,
jim

If anyone has a favorite program (especially their own) that they want 
a custom icon for in QDT for, you need to get it to me by Dec 31st at 
the latest (I would appreciate them before then if possible).

I can import any major format.  Ideally they should be 40 by 40 pixels 
but in many cases, I can reduce them with Photoshop from as high as 
48x48 unless there is too much tiny, critical detail.

If you want to design your own and you are using Photoshop or 
equivalent, please head to my web site to pick up the Photoshop color 
swatch with the colors that QDT uses.  You can directly download it 
at:

For transparency, please use the last color in the swatch [named 
transparent]  (my conversion routines will swap it into transparency).

If you have any questions about icons and QDT, please contact me at 
the email address given on the website.

Re: [ql-users] QDT icons

Forgot to mention, any icon graphics submitted must be available for 
free distribution with QDT releases and from the QDT website.  If you 
are borrowing the graphic from another source, you will need to point 
me to notification that it is available for reuse, modification, and 
distribution.  If you are the owner of the graphic, please let me know.

Also note that the icons will be distributed with QDT and eventually 
posted on the QDT website for QDT users to download for their personal 
use with QDT.  A note of course will be included as to author, source, 
and usage limits.

There is unfortunately no payment for any graphics submitted or 
distributed with QDT.

Thanks,
jim
